coming back as -- >> you've got to do with less. for what reasons i don't know. >> the f.b.i. was on the ground there a week ago, to get as much information as we can. we need to learn from the information. >> official in charge of all personnel fax silty and operation worldwide is under secretary of state for management patrick f. kennedy, highly regarded ziller is vant who has been in the post since 2007. fox news learned that on the evening of september 12, kennedy privately briefed key house and senate staffers and told them benghazi appeared to be a sophisticated attack that utilized light and heavy weapons. one participant told fox news that kennedy indicated it was fairly complex. not like a protest that got out of hand. >> we don't see at this point signs it was coordinated plan, premedicated attack. >> that narrative was offered four days later. not for another three days at a senior u.s. official stated publicly with under-secretary kennedy told congress privately. >> they were killed in course of terrorist attack on the embassy. >> there was a decision made at that

in arizona. the fbi says that friendly fire likely killed agent nicholas ivie. another agent was wounded in the incident. the fbi says it is investigating what is going on. but it appears that only the two agents were involved in that gunfire. >>> and an extraordinary trial in vatican city ending with a guilty verdict. the former butler to pope benedict xvi was sentenced to 18 months in prison for stealing confidential documents and passing them on. the vatican says the pope will most likely pardon him. >>> and leaders saying this man killed soldiers before defecting, they heard gunshots before the soldier crossed the heavily armed guard between the two countries. thousands defect each year from north korea. >>> and today, the cdc announc d bacterial meningitis cases were found. dr. sanjay gupta explains how the meningitis cases got started. >> dr., we're talking about fungal meningitis. and it is not as common, we're hearing about the bacteria, treated with antibiotics, or the most common, which is viral meningitis. we typically hear about that on college campuses. fungal meningitis can

decisions about what would be shared with the american people, driving decisions of the fbi would be used in this case giving the perception that the fbi is being used to block any further inquiry into who is rese for failing t provide security and secondly, within that, there is an immense issue of this administration now directly attacking our own intelligence community in blaming them in a political context for what is object the a failure on the part of a demonstration. >> well, i think there is no doubt that there were political or idelogical factors of drought this decision making. if you really did it to the point that thicould have been avoided with enough lead admission. using a near libya to reestablish a base, something vms version did not want to hear. i think they're riskier ministrations saw him would be communicated in a lot ofways. the people said there was no political pressure. you don't need that to make your point clear. by blaming the intelligence community fifth, that is a ridge line of argument from people who were critical of the bush of ministrations intelligence.

witnesses? >> i have great regard for the f.b.i. but i don't know how you can do a forensic examination three weeks after the fact when so many people have access to the facility. why did it take them three weeks to get in there? thirdly, why did they leave so quickly? so many unanswered questions about this going all the way back just in terms of 9/11 before going over the last year. now it turns out the more security was requested, it was not provided. the story is coming through the administration. the whole thing with the f.b.i., again i have great respect for them. to wait for three weeks to go in and then go in and out in one day. i know they have locations but how can you have a crime scene investigation when you are not at crime scene. >> gregg: when journalists can recover sensitive documents literally weeks before the f.b.i. even get there, what does that tell you about the obama administration's handling of this? >> i have never seen any more mishandled issue. this involved the lives of americans and security of americans, involves a terrorist attack of americans, every stage

these continuing investigations by the fbi, the state department and others. we still don't know a lot of the facts in the case, shep. >> shepard: some republicans are saying that the vice president pointed a finger at the intelligence community. >> that's right. you mentioned that mitt romney went after the vice president today on the stump as well as some of mitt romney's supporters. two former bush bush officials were upset that the vice president last night suggested that this whole confusion over the last few weeks was anti-muslim video that caused this, the vice president suggested that was because of the intelligence community. well, two officials today, michael hayden as well as michael chertoff basically suggested that the administration was pushing off blame. they said in a joint statement, quote: it was clear any failure was not on the part of the intention community but on the part of white house decision makers who should have listened to and acted on available intelligence blaming those who put their lives on the line is not the kind of leadership this country needs. can i tell i i a

nations the '90s. >>> the fbi now thinks that border patrol agent may have died by friendly fire. nicolas ivey was shot and killed in california. initially officials said ivey and his colleague were wounded after responding to a censor. authorities say the only shell casings found at the scene were those belonging to the agents. >> as you know, investigators are made progress into the investigation into agent ivey's death andre looking into the possibility that it was a tragic accident. the result of friendly fire. the fact is the work of the border patrol is dangerous. all of us wear the uniform know this and yet this special creed of men and women willingly put themselves in harm's way to serve their country and to protect their communities against those who wish to do us harm. >> that news comes as homeland security secretary janet napolitano traveled to arizona to meet with officials and ivey's family. reacting to his death, napolitano said in part "this tragedy reminds us of the risks our men and women confront, the dangers they willingly undertake while protect our facing's borders.

. the f.b.i. says border agent nicholas ivie, killed in remote k,uthern arizona last week, was likely the victim of an accidental friendly fire shooting. a second agent was wounded in the incident five miles north of the mexican border. a third agent escaped injury. ivie was the 27th border patrol borderto die in the line of duty since 2002. the driver of a rally car in day.ce took a wild ride today. it happened outside of haasbourg. the norwegian driver lost control of the ford, plowed into a vineyard, across the road... and into a second vineyard, before crashing into a utility wnle. the impact knocked down the sent, which sent sparking crowric lines into the crowd of spectators. unbelievably, no one was injured in the crash. boming up on the cbs evening ths, scriptures on the sidelines. controversy in texas. >> axelrod: we end tonight in texas, where a high school football is often compared to a religion. rsme cheerleaders at a public high school are now fighting for the right to display a banner with a distinctly christian message. manuel bojorquez reports. >> reporter: friday nig

got the fbi on the ground at the scene but almost four years after the attack. the tainted evidence is going be if it is still there is not going to be as valuable. this s aborningled investigation that should have been quick, forth right and we need to know the answers. >> geraldo: talk about timing, senator isaacson and well, you should since the senate is now you in recess and does not readjourn until the 13th of november, the week after elections. has the obama administration succeeded in making this a nonissue for the november 6 election? >> i think that they are trying to make it a nonissue for the election. but there has been too much misinformation. senator corker and i respect secretary clinton greatly. she has been the most the forth right of anybody in the administration. the president has hardly talked about it. ms. rice has told what she was told to say not what i think she really knew and as bob corker said in the clip earlier the one briefing from clapper and ms. clinton and the members of the secret service and the fbi was a nonbriefing. we need the facts and we need

. >> the former f.b.i. agent says there were several instances of politically criminal activity uncovered during the investigation including a major bribery case that will be turned over to the f.b.i. tomorrow. >>shepard: thank you, shannon. there a new internal report out that shows the transportation security administration failed to follow basic security roars in newark. according to the report from t.s.a., they were executing standard patdowns only 17 percent of the time. this follows a different report from abc that said that t.s.a. hired a former catholic least in philadelphia after the church booted him on accusations he sexually abused young girls. now an aviation analyst and retired captain. thank you, captain. anyone who fly as lot cannot be overly surprised that everything is not going perfectly with thousands standing around, or the t.s.a. >>guest: no. i have said all along and i have said many times the security today at the airports is for better than september 10, 2001. the people are inadequately trained. the people are not given the proper equipment. because of this, there is a

air force base with all of the victims and with fbi present is well-known fact. the results of that are understood by investigators. there's no excuse for not sharing that information with this victim's mother. >> right. jill, the hearing -- let's talk about the hearing that happened today, which the state department defended the administration's handling of the attack. you said it was highly political. did it resolve anything? >> anderson, you know, i didn't hear a lot of new information at all. i think, i and some others who were watching it at the time were struck by the fact that it turned into this sparring. and it was very, very personal between, you know, the republicans and the democrats. so, it -- you don't think that it accomplished very much when you get down to the nuts and bolts of what was learned. >> the state department said that they had -- i don't have the exact phrasing, but basically the appropriate number of people on the ground. and there was a sharp rebuke from the panel saying how can you say that given that four americans are dead? >> right. that's t

by the fbi and when it comes to diplomatic security and security of our diplomatic facilities by the accountability review board established by secretary clinton. more broadly this was a topic as a matter of policy that was discussed in an in lightning way in this debate. when it comes to afghanistan, president working with countless hours eyes has established a policyallies has established a to draw down our forces in afghanistan and end that war by 2014. whether that is why policy and this president is committed to bringing our forces home from afghanistan. the purpose the vice president said, of setting a deadline is to make it clear to the government kabul in and baghdad iraq, they began to take increasing responsibility for security. when it comes to fighting or dying for the sake of afghan and the afghan people, afghan forces take on that responsibility, not american men and women. and will end the war in iraq, he did, made clear he would focus attention a neglected war and refocus the mission in al qaeda were decimating al qaeda's leadership in afghanistan and pakistan

hero los alamos who was investigated by the fbi, action before the 2001 attacks, if people are wondering what the fbi was doing before, saying he had given secrets to the chinese, which he adamantly disputed. >> he had not given secrets to anybody, actually. he was scheduled to be laid off along with about 1000 live in place in 1995. he had received what was referred to as an at risk notice. at the time when he downloaded data, code hit a marking on, he was contemplating have to search for another job. all of that eventually came out that that is what transpired. dr. lee is an interesting situation because the downloading of classified information is something i reported in mind and my reports. -- in one of my reports. the laboratory chose to ignore fixing the problem. had they fix that problem, and considerably the whole situation with dr. lee would not have occurred. there were also problems with missing tapes containing classified affirmation. one of my findings in this audit i did of classified computing of the lab was the laboratory did not have adequate control over t

told the judge thursday that the fbi was investigating a credible threat of violence if the posters went up here in d.c. but the judge went ahead and ordered those posters be placed into metro systems and said basically this was a first amendment issue. they say, in any war between civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. support israel, defeat jihad. many say the ads are offensive, because they equate muslims with savages. citing those concerns from the fbi, metro wanted to delay displaying the ads until the protests in the middle east over that innocence of muslims films has subsided. the sponsors sued to have them put up immediately and won. riders have mixed feelings. >> it's discrimination, because it's not right to generalize the jihad terrorists and muslims. >> they should be allowed on free speech grounds, but i think it's irresponsible. >> this is america, it's freedom of speech. >> reporter: a woman was arrested last month in new york after she tried to deface one of the signs there. they went up there on september 24th in new york. the signs are also up on

understanding as well. multiple investigations are now underway from the f.b.i. agents on the ground in libya to the state departments internal' view board, to lawmakers pressing for answers. >> we've requested c.i.a. cables. we've requested the department of -- excuse me. department of state cables that relate to this security of the facility as would relate to issues of my committee, and they've been a little slow in cooperating thus far. >> wednesday will mark the first full congressional hearing on the benghazi attacks. shep. >> shep: then a matter of how the white house classified that in the early going. >> we've seen these shifting accounts. fox news learned on september 12, under secretary of state patrick kennedy, who is in charge of the department's personnel facilities and operations world wide, briefed key hill staffers and told them this appeared to be a sophisticated attack and not like a protest that got out of hand, as one participant on kennedy's conference call told us. that conflicts with the account that u.n. ambassador susan rice offered when she told the sunday shows tha

for a little girl who vanished on her way to school. where fbi agents and police are focusing their investigation. >>> and a deadly meningitis outbreak spreading. why health officials believe thousands of people could be at risk. what you need to know, all "happening now." jon: and a good tuesday morning to you. that means election day is four weeks from today. can you believe that? a big surge for governor romney in the race for the white house to tell you about. i'm jon scott. jenna: hi, everybody, i'm jenna lee. we're getting a look at more brand new polling which shows mr. romney's strong debate performance last week may be resonating with voters. take a look at this. this is thepew poll of likely voters. governor romney now holding a four-point lead over the president. the governor trailed the president by eight points in the previous poll. and among likely women voters governor romney has closed a huge defender -- gender gap with the president. both candidates even at 47%. compare that to the same poll taken in mid-september before the debate. take a look at that gap. go

cautioned the committee that until those three investigations that are underway, state department, fbi and the congressional investigation conclude, that actually you're dealing with an incomplete picture, wolf. >> and the state department now believes, jill, that the 14-minute anti-muslim trailer out there on youtube, that had absolutely nothing to do with the attack on the diplomatic consulate in benghazi despite what the administration was saying in the days that followed. >> reporter: it appears that way, wolf. although i don't think i would put it quite as specifically and concretely as you are. what they're saying is it doesn't appear. that evening they say at the benghazi mission it was quiet. and by implication they're saying there was nothing going on that would lead them to believe there was going to be an attack. again, we're going to have to get the final investigation. but, yes, it appears that they're stepping back from that original explanation. >> jill, thanks very much. jill dougherty at the state department. there's plenty of political bickering going on when it comes

doing what he was trained to do. bill: ivie leaves behind a wife and two young children. the fbi saying he and another agent who survived by the way were shot by friendly fire. martha: all right. moving onto this story in politics again. the potential new scandal that is facing the obama campaign. why a government watchdog is now saying that president obama may have accepted some illegal donations. big cover story in the mainstream press on this. we'll detail. bill: you just mentioned this. governor romney's debate win wasn't big, it was historic. we'll tell you about new polls that prove that. with three more debates to go we have must-see tv ahead of us, america. bob and andrea are on deck right after this music: "make"" music: "make someone happy" ♪it's so important to make someone happy.♪ it's so important to make meone happy.♪ ♪make just one heart to heart you - you sing to♪ ♪one smile that cheers you ♪one face that lights when it nears you.♪ ♪and you will be happy too. martha: well a stunning surge in gas prices across california. right now the statewide average

agent. the fbi now thinks he may have died by friendly fire. 30-year-old nicholas ivy was shot and killed this week in arizona. shell casings found at the scene was fired by ivy and another agent who was wounded. >> as you know, investigators have made progress into the investigation into agent ivy's death and are looking into the possibility that it was a tragic accident. the result of friendly fire. >> ivy is the third border patrol agent killed in the line of duty this year. >>> and in colorado, an amber alert has been issued after a 10-year-old girl disappeared on her way to school. this is a picture of her. take a look. the search was delayed because the girl's mother didn't know she was immediately missing. the mother slept through calls from school officials saying she had not arrived. police searched the surrounding area, but so far nothing. >>> the number of cases of fungal meningitis is growing. 47 people have been infected. it was distributed in 23 states, but now has been recalled. five people have died. our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta has much more

convey that emotion. and what i felt when i saw it. >> reporter: retired fbi agent brad garrett who questioned malvo after his capture says he's not surprised that malvo is willing to pin much of the terror on mohammad when he wasn't before. the spell is zbon, the whole idea that mohammad was a good person has dissolved. so now what he's doing is stepping forward, taking responsibility, but he's clearly putting mohammad in the picture. >> reporter: mohammad was executed in 2009. josh white, "the post" reporter couldn't get new pictures of malvo. the prison allowed no cameras, writing utensils or anything else. can you tell what you say he looks like now? >> he looks similar to what he looked like before though about ten years older. he's kind of a slate guy. he's not particularly tall. he's not figuratively heavy. his hair was very closely cut. >> reporter: paul rufa, one of the first shot during the spree, says he forgives malvo. >> if i held the same hate today or that i felt in 2002 when he tried to kill me, i would have wasted or just damaged the last -- i would have let him dam

. >> there was no protest. the state department, f.b.i. a others have that video. >> the top state department official who testified before house government oversight committee confirmed he told lawmakers a day after this attack on the benghazi consulate that he believed it was terrorism. >> i believe it was the nature of it. leathtlethality of it, it was complex attack. >> ambassador kennedy defended ambassador susan rice who fiv ae rounds on sunday talk shows as it was a demonstration, prompted by a youtube video for anti-islam film that spun out of control. >> if any of the administration officials including any career official, were on television on sunday, september 16, they would have said what ambassador rice said. >> challenged repeatedly by a republican who returned from the region. i was in libya and nobody mentioned a video. >> in the year leading up to the attack, ied attack on the consulate in june, lawmakers were told that triply could not control the american interest. >> we could not rely on them for security, intelligence and law enforcement help to identify the emerging threat. or ask th

department, the f.b.i. and others have that video. speaking of video, the one in california made by an individual and out there for a period of time also clearly had no direct effect on this attack. >> when i was in libya, good part of the day, never once did a person ever mention a video. never. >> two documents obtained by congressional investigators, we now know that there were at least 230 security related incidents in the year leading up to the attack on the consulate in benghazi. at the hearing today, we heard from lieutenant colonel wood who recently oversaw a military security team in libya. >> it was apparent to me that we were the last flag flying in benghazi. we were the last thing on their target list. >> what we also heard today, a fact that was reported by fox news at thend of september, is that the consulate in benghazi did not meet the specific physical standards mandated by the state department for a posting that is high risk for terrorism and high risk for civil unrest, bill. >> a dangerous country. thank you, reporting in washington. the white house has taken a

and there are these hearings. in the end, the definitive version of the facts will come from the fbi who are responsibility for putting together the prosecution. they will be the keepers of the evidence. but i must tell you the answer on his face fails the common sense test. when you talk to average americans who have no dog in this fight. they say obviously we didn't have adequate security. the terrorists are to blame for the deaths, but we want accountability and we want to understand how can we make sure? the state department are working in dangerous places. how do we assess threats, assign security responsibility? >> the state department said today no amount of sort of the usual security would have been able to deal with dozens of attackers. if it is not possible to protect from the threat that is present, then you shouldn't be there. this is less to me about blame than it is about accountability. >> you don't want this to happen again and there are other facilities that we have that are like this. that's the bottom line here in getting answers for the families. >> jill, i appreciate your reporting tim

is sentenced on corruption charges. brooks lied to the fbi about funneling money to sulemon brown. several prosecutors say they expect brook to be sentenced to probation, avoiding jail time because he's provided substantial information to their investigation. he's a former aid to mayor gray who pleaded guilty. kwame brown is under strict rules until he's sentenced next month. a judge issued him a curfew. he must check in personally to court every week. he failed to check in with authorities by phone three times. the chairman must follow the rules to stay out of prison. eight minutes after 11:00. u.s. troops on the move. what u.s. lawmakers want to know about security in libya a month after the attacks. >>> safety concerns. will your air bag work in case of emergency? why transportation officials so...

that their firewalls had been breached by the chinese, that they'd been informed of that by the fbi. and so by doing this, chairman rogers simply is able to raise a larger awareness of it. as for the huawei allegation, we'll see. we haven't seen the report yet and the specifics. >> the reason why the issue has been treated with -- this has been going on over the course of a decade at least. it's not just in technology. it's in other areas of business where intellectual property in general is being stolen, allegedly by chinese hackers and chinese corporations. think of how many u.s. companies we talk about who want to make inroads into china and they fear retribution, being locked out of a market, that's a bottom-line fear. when i heard that these companies were being invested and could face some sort of punishment or blocked from entering the u.s. market, i thought immediately, is cisco going to feel the same impact in china? are other companies going to feel the impact of being able to do business in china? >> chinese cyber espionage has only ratcheted up dramatically over the last decade. ten year

this to such a nice little girl. >> this there is someone who knows where he's at, but we need to find him. >> the fbi is vowing not to rest until jessica' killer is caught. the community will come together for a balloon release later in the afternoon to celebrate jessica's life. >>> on to texas, a judge has sentenced a young mother to 99 years in prison for first degree injury to a child. the woman glued her 2-year-old daughter's hands to the wall. then kicked and beat her because she was not potty trained. the prosecutor calls the woman pure evil. she will serve 30 years before she comes up for parole. >>> and this is a first, even for the folks out in los angeles who maybe for this moment, thought they had seen it all. the space shuttle "endeavour" on a slow, two-day trek through cramped city streets. the final destination, the california science center where it will be on permanent display. it has traveled 123 million miles in space. 25 spate flights, l.a.'s mayor calls it a once in a lifetime event. >>> the race for the white house now is heating up with election day just 24 days away. mitt romne

? >> reporter: they're not sharing a lot of information about this meeting in part for security reasons. the fbi tried to get into benghazi right after that attack. it took them quite some time to do that, so they are being incredibly tight-lipped about the meetings that john brennan will have tomorrow, but again he will be meeting with top officials in benghazi. specifically we are told to talk about some of these issues, including security concerns that existed at the consulate. those are some of the questions that are going to come up on wednesday during those hearings that will be held on the hill. so there are a lot of questions that the white house has been fielding for a number of days now. certainly counterterrorism adviser john brennan will be meeting about those. as you know, the white house has been to some extent on going af president obama on this issue saying he hadn't been tough enough. the white house has responded by pointing to the fact that romney really responded to the attack in benghazi before he had all of the information. president obama gets strong marks when it comes to

will come from the fbi who are responsible for the investigation in a potential prosecution. they will be to keh keepers of evidence. but i must tell you, the evidence we had on its face, honestly if you step back from the partisan politics of washington and you talk to average americans who have got no dog in this fight, they sort of say look, it is obvious we didn't have adequate security. if we're looking to assign blame, the terrorists are responsible for the deaths. but if we need capability, we want to make sure -- the state department are working in dangerous places. how do we work with threats, assign responsibility -- >> the state department said, no amount of the usual security would have been able to deal with dozens of attackers, there were dozens of attackers who were heavily armed. you say. >> i say we have forwarding bases in iraq and afghanistan during the iraq and the afghanistan war, and he protected them. >> there was not the substantial amount in terms -- >> if you're at a facility that you can't protect, that it is not possible to protect from the threat

focusing today and the fbi is involved as well? is that right? >>. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. the fbi got on board over the weekend. investigators were working overnight and searching. that search continues this morning. bloodhounds are also on the case. investigators say that they are going to once again go door-to-door in westminster. that is the suburb where jessica lives. they're doing this also in superior where that backpack was found. initially cops are asking the school district for help on this. they want to know kids who know jessica or go to school with her heard or seen anything that might appear suspicious of the they are not at that point asking for any additional volunteer searchers. bill? bill: let's hope for the best. skun -- alicia acuna live in colorado. patti ann: search for answers after the deadly attack in libya. congress set to hold hearings into the terrorist attack that killed four americans. subpoenas just went out. lawmakers are especially interested hearing from one man. we'll tell you who it is hmm, it says here that cheerios helps lower cholesterol as pa

she was last wearing. the fbi is on the case as well. bloodhounds joined the search over the weekend. in terms of the community i can tell you personally what it's been like here. i live here in westminster. i don't live too are from where jessica disappeared. i've been out and i've seen her face just about everywhere and i'm going to send things back to you right now. jenna: nice to hear a personal perspective on this story as well. alicia, thank you very much. alicia acuna in colorado. meantime we'll run to some other breaking news out of virginia today where we see governor romney. jon: that's right, jenna. governor bob mcdonnell of virginia just finished his introduction. you notice all the white. these are cadets at the virginia military institute, a historic and highly regarded private military college that offers a lot of, feed as lot of officers to our military institutions. vmi in lexington, virginia. governor romney selecting it as the site of his foreign policy speech. let's listen. >> -- fireless -- tireless campaign companion, governor bob mcdonnell. he goes all over the

really won't know, i think, until those reports, the fbi, the state department, and congressional investigations are complete, and the entire picture is clear. that's why you've got this kind of back and forth. >> and, jill, do we think any of that information will come out before the election or essentially people will take a look at the final debate between these two and make up their minds about foreign policy based on that? >> you know, when you look -- i think if you get out of washington and you look at people in the country side, i am not quite sure that all of these fine details are going to make that much difference. i think the overarching thing that could is this charge by mitt romney that the administration has been weak, it didn't, you know, define what should be going on in the world. if you accept that, then perhaps that argument does hold weight, but that, i think, is overarching. if you take the whole speech, it's really has obama been weak, standing back and not really leading, and that's what mitt romney is saying. >> all right. jill dougherty, good to see you.

, and it is an incident that is under investigation both by the fbi and when it comes to diplomatic security and security by diplomatic facilities by the accountability review board established by senator quentin. as a matter of policy that was discussed in the the lightning way in this debate and when it comes to afghanistan the president working with countless allies has established a policy to draw down our forces in afghanistan event to end that war by 2014 that is not the policy and this president has committed to bringing our forces that come from afghanistan of setting a deadline is to make it clear to the government in kabul as it was made clear to the government in baghdad and iraq and they will begin to take increasing responsibility for their own securities so that when it comes to fighting and sometimes dying for the sake of afghan for afghanistan the people that the afghan forces to on that responsibility and that is why we're joined on the forces there. the president is very committed to this. he made clear in the campaign for president in 2008 that he would end of the war in iraq. he did.

weeks and we just had fbi agents get on the ground there. i think the expectation is that you come out and you call terrorism terrorism. you go after vigorously after those terrorists. there is a distink difference in leading from behind or being app genic or passive about a foreign policy and one who is strong. >> i'm talking about iran and -- be. >> forgive me for interrupting you. >> i hear you -- using an example of syria because again we want to give americans the opportunity to hear directly from governor romney when he gives a speech today. >> it looks like in the excerpts that have been sent -- >> a distinct difference overall. >> he covers libya and egypt and syria. >> yes. >> there's a range. let's talk about iran for a moment. when you actually analyze the candidate's positions if you look at governor romney's position on ir and that red line that as you remember benjamin netanyahu was drawing in his speech and president obama's position they're similar, aren't they identical, really? >> well, soledad, i'm not going to get into the back and forth on foreign policy. i'm not

, there is an investigation under way by the fbi and the state department has launched what it calls an official accountability review board. we do not have the full picture of what actually happened, but there is no question that this is a major tragedy. it is the first time in more than two decades that the u.s. has lost an investor in a situation like this. host: susan glasser is editor in chief at "foreign policy magazine. indiana. chris. independent line. caller: jobs are going to be the most important thing in the election, but foreign policy will be important. as far as governor romney not pointing of the specificity of what he would do differently, i disagree. in his speech he pointed out a lot of things that he would do differently. he strongly backs israel. more money for the military. opposing various things. it was a best contrast to the president. -- vest contrast to the president. as far as foreign policy concerns respecting the election, you know, the president's policies have not seemed to have worked in the middle east. they have gotten worse over there, to me, and i am independ

department and fbi and others have that video. the video in california made by individual out there for a period of time also clearly had no direct effect on this attack. it was september 11, the 11th anniversary of the greatest terrorist attack in u.s. history in new york, pennsylvania, and at the pentagon. it was that anniversary that caused an organization aligned with al qaeda to attack and kill our personnel. i deeply appreciate secretary clinton's efforts to cooperate with this investigation. she stepped in and instructed her people to cooperate and they have. additionally, if i have had conversations directly with the secretary and i believe our service together since 2001 in the u.s. congress plays no small part in her recognition of the role we serve on both sides of the dome. today, however, this hearing has been called for the express purpose of examining security failures that led to the benghazi tragedy. safe-haven within the compound, which some state department officials seemed to think could protect the benghazi compound inhabitants, did not work. in retrospect

go sideways, it could go to the white house, the fbi. there are a lot of people and place thaes had to fai places that had to fail for this tragedy to occur. bill: do you think they misled you and the american people? >> absolutely. there is no question as senator corker said, at least by the time that ambassador rice made her outlandish statements at our most important ambassador, ambassador to the u.n. everyone knew it wasn't true. that becomes the real question of why in the world would an ambassador make a statement that was not supported even a few hours after the attack, and certainly wasn't supported a day, two days or in this case five days after the attack. bill: you have three principle players here, you have susan rice, hillary clinton and the president, right? are you suggesting that any of these individuals, or all of them, lied about this? >> well, certainly we are going to get to the bottom of ambassador rice rice' false statement. you have to understand something. the reason i called my committee back during the time when most members are home campaigning is because
